Tool Condition Monitoring Of Drill Bit Wear Using Camera For Composite Assembly In Aerospace Manufacturing System

The poor machinability of composite materials makes the tool condition monitoring (TCM) system is highly demanded for the drilling operation in aircraft manufacturing industry. It caused the drill bit to wear faster, reducing the tool life expectancy and increasing the manufacturing cost. It is impo...
